This book was released on 1957 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baron Leo of Rozmital was born in Bohemia in 1426 and died in 1480. His brother-in-law was George Podiebrad, the Hussite king of Bohemia, whose throne was endangered by his heresies. Leo's journey was perhaps made to obtain the support of European kings for Podiebrad or at any rate to hear their views and persuade them to intercede with the Pope. Rozmital left Prague in 1465 with two chroniclers, Tetzel and Schaseck, who each described the journey. They met the rulers of the principal countries of Europe and observed the customs and ways of life -- both good and bad. At Brussels the party was entertained by Philip the Good. After Bruges, Ghent and Calais, they crossed to England. Their stay includes descriptions of Edward IV and his court and English life generally. They returned to France, which they liked, then on to Spain where they had difficulties. They also went to Portugal and Italy and ultimately returned home via Venice and Austria.

Download or read book Jan van Eyck and Portugal s Illustrious Generation written by Barbara von Barghahn and published by Pindar Press. This book was released on 2013-12-31 with total page 887 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates Jan Van Eyck's patronage by the Crown of Portugal and his role as diplomat-painter for the Duchy of Burgundy following his first voyage to Lisbon in 1428-1429, when he painted two portraits of Infanta Isabella, who became the third wife of Philip the Good in 1430. New portrait identifications are provided for the Ghent Altarpiece (1432) and its iconographical prototype, the lost Fountain of Life. These altarpieces are analysed with regard to King Joao I's conquest of Ceuta, achieved by his sons, who were hailed as an "illustrious generation." Strong family ties between the dynastic houses of Avis and Lancaster explain Lusitania's sustained fascination with Arthurian lore and the Grail quest. Several chapters of this book are overlaid with a chivalric veneer. A second "secret mission" to Portugal in 1437 by Jan van Eyck is postulated and this diplomatic visit is related to Prince Henry the Navigator's expedition to Tangier and King Duarte's attempts to forge an alliance with Alfonso V of Aragon. Late Eyckian commissions are reviewed in the light of this ill-fated crusade and additional new portraits are identified. The most significant artist of Renaissance Flanders appears to have been patronized as much by the House of Avis as by the Duchy of Burgundy. Barbara von Barghahn is Professor of Art History at George Washington University and a specialist in the art history of Portugal, Spain, and their colonial dominions, as well as Flanders. In 1993, she was conferred O Grao Comendador in the Portuguese Order of Prince Henry the Navigator. She has spent nearly a decade completing research about Jan van Eyck's diplomatic visits to the Iberian Peninsula.

Download or read book Elizabeth written by Arlene Okerlund and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2006-06-01 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth Wydeville, Queen consort to Edward IV, has traditionally been portrayed as a scheming opportunist. But was she a cunning vixen or a tragic wife and mother? As this extraordinary biography shows, the first queen to bear the name Elizabeth lived a tragedy, love, and loss that no other queen has since endured. This shocking revelation about the survival of one woman through vilification and adversity shows Elizabeth as a beautiful and adored wife, distraught mother of the two lost Princes in the Tower, and an innocent queen slandered by politicians.
Download or read book Isabella written by Kirstin Downey and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An engrossing and revolutionary biography of Isabella of Castile, the controversial Queen of Spain who sponsored Christopher Columbus's journey to the New World, established the Spanish Inquisition, and became one of the most influential female rulers in history. In 1474, when most women were almost powerless, twenty-three-year-old Isabella defied a hostile brother and a mercurial husband to seize control of Castile and León. Her subsequent feats were legendary. She ended a twenty-four-generation struggle between Muslims and Christians, forcing North African invaders back over the Mediterranean Sea. She laid the foundation for a unified Spain. She sponsored Columbus’s trip to the Indies and negotiated Spanish control over much of the New World. She also annihilated all who stood against her by establishing a bloody religious Inquisition that would darken Spain’s reputation for centuries. Whether saintly or satanic, no female leader has done more to shape our modern world. Yet history has all but forgotten Isabella’s influence. Using new scholarship, Downey’s luminous biography tells the story of this brilliant, fervent, forgotten woman, the faith that propelled her through life, and the land of ancient conflicts and intrigue she brought under her command.
Download or read book Elizabeth of York and Her Six Daughters in Law written by Retha M. Warnicke and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of early modern queenship compares the reign of Henry VII’s queen, Elizabeth of York, and those of her daughters-in-law, the six queens of Henry VIII. It defines the traditional expectations for effective Tudor queens—particularly the queen’s critical function of producing an heir—and evaluates them within that framework, before moving to consider their other contributions to the well-being of the court. This fresh comparative approach emphasizes spheres of influence rather than chronology, finding surprising juxtapositions between the various queens’ experiences as mothers, diplomats, participants in secular and religious rituals, domestic managers, and more. More than a series of biographies of individual queens, Elizabeth of York and Her Six Daughters-in-Law is a careful, illuminating examination of the nature of Tudor queenship.
